COUNTERFEIT $10
BILLS AFLOAT
Local Bankers Have Not
found Any of Them.
GEO. D. WHEATLEY
Counterfeit fen dollar bills are In
circulation tn Georgia. So far none
of them l - ave been discovered by lo
cal banks, though Macon banks have
found a few offered for deposit.
The bills which have been counter
feited are known as "Buffalo" blHs,
because they have a big buffalo on
them. * In some Instances the worth
less bills were frayed as If In long
use, so that It Is not known whether
they are being circulated by crooks,
or have been placed in circulation in
Northern cities and are just reaching
this section.
A warning against these spurious
bills have been sent out by the
Government to the banks. The fol
lowing Is the official description of
the counterfeit:
Series 1901-A-274. J. W. Lyons,
register; Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer,
General appearance deceptive, par
ticularly the back of the note. In
portrait of Lewis the eye has a decid
ed upward cast. Shading back of por
trait has no cross lines. Period be
tween Washington amf D. C. Instead
of comma. Paper thick and stiff.
These bills have a big buffalo and
large red X on the face and are green
on the back.”
February Will Be a Banner
Month For Bargains.
There are strong logical reasons why the February Bar
gains should appeal to your buying economy. We are mak
ing our last calls on aU surplus lots of seasonable merchandise.
Profit on these lots is wiped out. Cost, even, does not influ
ence the price in many instances. Just that one dominating
desire to make a clean sweep of everything that would take
up wanted space when the new season opens. #

Catarrh Is the most preva
lent disease known to humanity. Pro
bably ninety per cent, of the people
In this country suffer at one time or
another with this common disease.
It is a germ disease and hence can
be cured only by some method that
will reach and destroy the germs.
This is best found in Hyomel, which
may be called the direct method of
treating catarrh, as Its medication, ta
ken In with the atr you breathe, goes
directly to every air cell in the nose,
throat and lungs; kills all catarrhal
germs; heals the irritated mucous
membrane and vitalizes the tissues so
as to render catarrh no longer possi
ble.
Dodson's Pharmacy gives their ab
solute guarantee to refund the price
to any catarrh sufferer that Hyomel
falls to benefit. 20-24-27
The centrally located and valuable
property of the Amerlcus Library As
sociation has been formally tendered
the city council for the proposed Car
negie Library. This was done at
the annual meeting of the Library
Association on Friday evening.
And this generosity upon the part
of the Association Is highly com
mended, as It assures to Amerlcus a
handsome $20,000 llbrabry. If the city
council concurs therein.
Correspondence with Mr. Carnegie
regarding the deBired donation of $20,-
000 Is now in progress.
The usual condition upon which
these generous gifts are made Is that
the city accepting the library bind It
self to appropriate annually, 10 per
cent of the donation towards the cost
of maintalnance, a condition which is
accepted by all cities.
In the event Amerlcus receives $20,-
00 from Mr. Carnegie, it will cost the
city $2,000 annually to maintain the
library.
The city council has taken no form
al action as yet upon this proposition,
having referred the matter for the
present to a committee of that body
for Investigation and report.
The desire upon the part of the peo
ple of Amerlcus for a handsome mar
ble library building, costing $20,000,
and coming as a gift from the great
philanthropist. Mr. Carnegie, Is very
general, and hope Is expressed that
the movement will be successful.
The Amerlcus Library Association
owns a comfortable building and val
uable lot In the business centre, and
this is tendered the city council for
the purpose Indicated. The library
Is not supported as It should be, and
the proposed change is desirable.
At the recent meeting of the Asso
ciation Mr. Crawford Wheatley was
re-elected president and Mr. Thomas
Harrold vice-president, with a full
board of directors.
